2. Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit

This hands-free car kit from Belkin is notable for several reasons. Firstly, it has a mic that aims to reduce “echo-y” qualities in your mobile calls. Additionally, it routes sound through your car’s rich stereo, rather than through a tinny speakerphone. Finally, it comes from a reliable brand.

Some user reviews note this device will not auto-connect when you get into the car

Some people may dislike the look of the extra hanging wires

Only works with one device at a time (may be annoying for users who have a work phone and a separate personal phone)

3. Jabra DRIVE Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone

Jabra may not exactly be a household name, but this car speakerphone is a great buy because of its host of automatic features. Additionally, it allows for multiple devices to be paired at once, making this ideal for people who have a cell phone for both work and personal use.

Pros:

Available in multiple colors

Boasts both echo and noise canceling features

Connects to two Bluetooth devices at the same time

Automatic pairing and automatic volume adjustment

Allows you to stream music or get audio GPS directions without using your hands

Battery life may vary depending on use: item description simply states it has “enough battery life to last through even the longest commute or road trip”

DRIVE goes to sleep after 10 minutes, forcing you to turn the device back on: great for conserving battery, but annoying for those who are in and out of a car frequently during the day
